House Rich, Cash Poor.

Raven: Why aren’t we buying that beautiful house we saw on the beach last week?

Luke: Honey, that’s really an expensive property.

Raven: But can’t we afford it?

Luke: We can just afford to buy it. But, after that we won’t be left with any savings or investments.

Luke: Not always, and what if I suddenly lose my job? In this economy, one never knows...

Raven: Hmmm. I get your point! I suppose we should wait until we have more cash to put into a house.

A Great Apartment.

Luke: Where are you going?

Honey: I’m going to put my apartment on a real estate listing.

Luke: Are you sure you want to sell your apartment?

Honey: I don’t see any reason to keep it. It’s a vacant property, and before spiderwebs make a home out of it, I should do something with it.

Luke: Listen, that’s a really beautiful apartment. You could rent it out if you’re concerned about the maintenance and it being empty.

Honey: Yeah. That’s also an option. I’ll talk to my agent about it.

Is The Rent Good?

Honey: Are you moving to a new place?

Trish: Yup. I’m moving in with my boyfriend.

Honey: That sounds good. Where does he live?

Trish: He lives on Brooks Street.

Honey: But, that’s a really plush place. How will you two manage the rent?

Trish: The place is next to both our offices. So, we’ll be saving a huge amount on commuting and we can use it to pay rent.

Honey: So everything is working out. I’m impressed!
